Harry Reid Re-enters the "Culture of Corruption"

Harry Reid appears to have done something as unethical as those in the Jack Abramoff circle: accepting free tickets to boxing events in Nevada while he was working on legislation to provide oversight of boxing. Hmmm.

Of course, this isn't the first ethical problem of Harry Reid's. As I mentioned last year, he has no problem with conflicts of interest regarding his family and their employment.

Unfortunately, we already know the outcome: Reid will say he did nothing wrong and no one will ask him to resign (including Republicans) - and this storm, if it ever becomes one, will pass. The appearance of a corrupt Republican always causes resignation, the appearance of a corrupt Democrat usually causes denial.
